The week that was…full of my favourite things

This week has been simply fabulous and full of so many of my favourite things:

Still on a smoothie high this week!  This one contained a banana, pineapple, strawberries, Frutein powder and little gem lettuce, ice, Kara coconut milk…yum!

My first ever vanilla Frappuccino! These thing are incredible and I can feel an addiction coming on!

Beauty freebies!   When I had my makeup done on the benefit counter a few weeks ago the makeup artist used the POREfessional pore minimiser and That Gal primer on my face.  I really liked the end result and really would love to use them both for my wedding day makeup, but they are a bit pricey to buy together. 

When I saw that both were available free in the 7.5ml sample sizes with Glamour magazine I had to snapped them up.  Well POREfessional anyway, That Gal seems to be like gold dust, but I’m sure that I can hunt it down.

Fruity desserts have been my thing this week:

Fresh apricots, strawberries and mango with salted almonds

Huge blueberries, cherries, soy yoghurt with honey

Strawberries, raspberries, cherries with tofu cream and crunchy peanut butter

I have wanted to make Seitan for so long and in my last iHerb order I made sure that it contained some vital wheat gluten so that I could make it.  I adapted this recipe two recipes this one and this one, and combined them. It tastes so good that I cannot believe that it has taken so long to try it out.

A tasty new box of cereal to try out!  I have seen these on blogs for ages and have really wanted to try them.  I decided to treat myself to a box and boy I have been missing out.  They are amazing!

Sweet and salty overnight oats is always a winner!

I had so much fun shopping at Bicester Village the other day.  We picked up some amazing shoes for my gorgeous bridesmaids and managed to get one of their dresses too.

Whilst shopping I picked up these pretty floral pieces from Cath Kidston.  I desperately needed a makeup bag for my handbag as I was tired of rummaging through it looking for my lip gloss!  I also loved these oven mitts just because they are so pretty and I got them at a super discounted price too.

I also loved spending time with Alfie and posting my very first vlog!  I actually recorded another one yesterday so look out for that as it’s coming your way soon!
